Sol 5.6

  1. An honor like the sky, where there rise

    lofty resolves as though they were stars;

  2. noble men have raised it; whenever

    one noble man leaves it in death, another builds it anew.

  3. Such are al-Husayn ibn Tahir and his father,

    his son Tahir, and Ibrahim—

  4. with hands that drive the clouds of want

    from the destitute, though they themselves are rain clouds;

  5. and gifts whose glad promise, even from afar,

    guides the seeker of bounty, who watches for rain.
